A few days ago the Brooklyn Academy of Music unveiled the new glass canopy outside its landmark Peter Jay Sharp building. The multi-million-dollar restoration of most of the building was completed a few years ago, and BAM’s website says the canopy was supposed to be finished in 2005. The organization declined to comment on the addition since it’s issuing a press release about it in a couple of days, but our understanding is that the structure marks the end of Peter Jay Sharp’s restoration. How do you think it looks? GMAP
My opinon is that it spoils the look of the beautifully renovated front of the building.
I would rather have the poop (and rain) on the glass than on my clothes! But truthfully, I was wondering how they would keep the glass clean of birdie doo doo.
Pigeon spikes? How ’bout bird dirt as seen thru glass?
This ranks up there with the new entrance to the Brooklyn Museum in gratuitousness!
Seems to me that ANY awning would spill water onto the sidewalk.
Unless it had a gutter like a suburban roof.
Complaining about that proves that most of you will complain about anything.
And the food court.
How will more water spill onto the sidewalks than before? Won’t it fall on the (indented drop-off) piece of road at the end of the roof?
Can’t wait for the pigeon spikes!
Less is better and nothing would have been best. That building needed nothing.
Yes 1:02…it certainly looks like a fair amount of water will be collected and funneled right onto the sidewalk at the concave areas of the roof. The pouring and splashing will make the sidewalk unusable
